Course Reviews

Oak Lane Country Club"Oak Lane CC"This is an extremely well kept course. The course requires a wide variety of shots. If you are not on top of your game from the blue tees you will be in for a long day. The greens are very fast and hard to read. When you move up to the white or gold tees the course becomes very playable for the higher handicap player.---Richard Sakowitz, Shelton, CT

Woodbridge Golf Links"Nice Layout"Course is well laid out, no worry of hitting into or being hit by other fairways. Golf community with housing that doesn't inhibit play. Bent grass greens are small, but fast and true. Traps need work. Rolling terrain provides challenge. Water hazards on about half the holes. Pretty course. ---Billy B., Pittsburgh
